Criminal case against Hill reopened after audio release

The criminal case against Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill was reopened Friday following the release of an audio clip Thursday of him and his fiancee, Crystal Espinal, discussing their three-year-old son and the investigation into possible child abuse, head coach Andy Reid confirmed, according to The Kansas City Star's Brooke Pryor.

In the recording, Espinal asks Hill why their three-year-old son said "Daddy did it," in reference to an incident that left the child with a serious arm injury.

Hill and Espinal were both under investigation for child abuse, but district attorney Stephen Howe said Wednesday that no charges would be filed, citing a lack of evidence in the case over who committed the act. However, Howe stated he believes a crime did occur.

The Chiefs told the receiver to not to participate in team activities until the organization learns more about the incident.
